Verdict

The veteran Powerstation won this back in 2008 but never got into the
action in a strong renewal last year. He's still useful but may just
need the run and along with recent chase winner Muirhead and the mainly
disappointing Whodouyouthink has a penalty to carry. Last season's
triple Grade 1 winning chaser Bostons Angel continue his rehabilitation
and will have come on for his run over timber at Gowran earlier this
month while Grade 2 winner Western Leader also had a recent run though
he was well beaten at Killarney. Quarryvale has won four times over the
bigger obstacles but has never run over hurdles and though SHINROCK PADDY is another whose future lies over fences he has a Grade 1 over
hurdles to his credit and arrives here on the back of a fair run on the
Flat so should be straight enough to make a winning return.

Western Leader (IRE) 4-1 (11-3) Led, headed 3rd, remained prominent, weakened quickly before 3 out and pulled up before next, in a race won by Hans Crescent (9-7) at Fairyhouse 2m 4f hcp hdl 0-140 in Feb, 12 ran.

Quarryvale (IRE) 8-1 (10-13) Attempted to make all, went on approaching 5 out, soon reduced lead, headed and no extra from before straight, eased and tailed off, 6th of 8, well behind Prince De Beauchene (11-3) at Fairyhouse 3m 1f chs G2 (1) sft in Feb.
